No That's Not Paint or Marker...


This is what can happen when you are helping one of your children and the other one heard you mention painting toenails. Yes, that's right, Erin is covered in nail polish. When she uses markers, she tends to color herself so it's not surprising that once she "finished" painting her toenails she decided to move onto other parts. She got various shades of red all over the carpet and it of course will not come out. Erin also managed to figure out how to pop the "childproof" door knob covers off. She can unbuckle the bottom part of her carseat too. Britax, the carseat manufacturer, in anticipation of your child accomplishing this feat, distributes clips to cover the buckle. I was so excited when I remembered I had a clip in the kitchen "junk" drawer. And who can pop that off, too? You guessed it...Erin!! Emily was never this impish (or ingenious~depending on if you have a half full/half empty outlook) so this has been a new adventure for us.

oh betsy....what a moment to remember this is, huh?!?!

You passed the test of a true scrapbooker & blogger--who can think through the chaos and madness of the moment..and take a photo! :)

so sorry about the rug, etc. though...that is never fun.

hope you're having a good summer!
